Do vegetarians eat Jell-O?
Answers:
Oh jello is such a great thing to suck off the male body, and no I am not a vegetarian. I love meat.
I dont know it has animal bones in it so probablynot
There's no meat in Jello-O. Mon Dieu!
Yes.
yes...they are not aware of the bone mill in Jell-o
It depends on how strict the vegetarian is. Jello has gelatin in it, and gelatin is made from boiling animals bones, and technically that would go against what a strict vegetarian is against. Some vegetarians however eat eggs but will not eat chicken, others do not eat eggs or meat. So you see it all depends on how strict the individual person is with their diet.
The answer is No. Definitely not. The main ingredient is gelatine, which is made from boiling ligaments, bones, hooves and skin. A vegetarian does not eat Jell-O.
i think there is a difference between gelintin and geletine
one is vego the other isn't
Im a vegetarian and I dont eat jello... because gelatin comes from cow or fish bones I dont eat it. I dont eat the red candy in sweden either because they use lice as food colouring (by the way, eew)
Yeah, why not?
After viewing all the other answers, not anymore! Lol!
no
No.
Gelatin is really gross--- Not just bones, but hooves and all kinds of nasty stuff is boiled together to make it.
Even people who do eat meat would probably refuse gelatin if they could see what goes into it!
Not most of the time
well, depends on the eater's definition of a vegetarian...jello contains dried bones...maybe there are jello made from seaweed and others....hmmm
No. Most gelatin is made from cow hooves.
The answer is comparable to what you get if you ask "Is gelatin kosher?"
Viz:
"But during the manufacturing of gelatin, the animal extract becomes totally inedible, such that even a dog will no longer eat it. Now, food which even a dog won't eat loses its status as food. Halachically, it's no different than stones or dirt which are you allowed to eat!
Based on this, some authorities permit gelatin from unkosher animals, since during the process the animal extract becomes unfit for even a dog. Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, zatzal, rules otherwise. He writes that although the animal parts are inedible in the middle of the process, this inedible state is only temporary. Since at the end of the process the unkosher bones are 'resurrected' into an edible product, the original prohibition remains."

"Kosher gelatin can be made with fish bones, and/or beef skins. Contrary to assumptions, it is also considered kosher to use it with dairy products. Kosher law is very complex and the bones and hides used in gelatin production are considered pareve. The general meaning of pareve refers to foods that are neither milk nor meat, and many people assume this means that the product is vegetarian. However, OU pareve certified ingredients can have animal products, such as fish, eggs, and gelatin, in them."

Note the part about the 'stones and dirt.' Some vegetarians do rationalise it along the same lines. Note the 'people assume...vegetarian.' Some do because they don't know.
But, strictly -- no.
"Gelatine is an unacceptable product to vegetarians as it is a by-product of the slaughterhouse industry, being made of protein derived from animal bones, cartilage, tendons and other tissues such as pig skin. Isinglass, used in fining some alcoholic drinks, is a type of gelatine from the air bladders of certain kinds of fish. Aspic is also unsuitable, as it is made from clarified meat, fish or vegetable stocks and gelatine."

am a vegetarian. 15 minutes ago I was planning to make some Jell-o. But after reading some of the answers I decided that i'll never put it in my mouth again.
No. Jell-O is flavored gelatin, which comes from a bajillion places of animals' bodies including the bones and hooves. We can, however, eat Jell-O pudding if we're not vegan, since that does not contain gelatin. But what's the point? The Jell-O company gets money if we do that.
I'm always surprised that so many vegetarians don't consider the inclusion of gelatine in the ingredients list as a sign that they shouldn't eat it.
Obviously not quite as annoying as those "vegetarians" who eat fish!!!! Infuriating.
But no, true vegetarians should not be eating anything with gelatine in.
vegetarians yes, vegans no
jell-o has crush animal bones (sometimes pig bones) mixed in it
No. It has gelatin which is a by product of a dead animal.
If you're a "true" vegetarian (or vegan), then you would NOT eat jello - because of the gelatin. I have known several vegetarians who did eat it however, but it was because they simply didn't know where gelatin came from.
If you don't know what it is, and eat it not realizing what it is, then you may still consider yourself vegetarian, although others will not - but if you know what it is and still eat it, I don't think you can really consider yourself vegetarian. After all, if you KNOWINGLY eat it, how is that any different than eating a piece of steak?
Vegetarians do not eat products that come from a dead animal. Gelatin comes from dead animals, so vegetarians do not eat gelatin.
This is similar to 'vegetarian cheeses' which are only vegetarian when made without the use of rennet, which is the mucos lining of a calves stomach. Cheese with rennet is made from dead animals, and is NOT vegetarian.
no, we don't. geletine is dead cows.
It doesn't depend on how "strict" the veggie is either.
you are either veggie, or not.
Eating dead cows, no matter how they are prepared or presented is not veggie.
Veggie Zelda..please sort yourself out, you are nothing like a veggie if you eat dead cows. And please, for the sake of all vegetarians, change your description on your profile page as you are not qualified to talk about vegetarian issues if you think eating dead cows is ok. I've read some silly comments on Yahoo, but this takes first prize.
"Sara" has the right attitude. Others could do a lot by learning from her. Nice one Sara
Not real vegetarians. gelatin is made of connective tissue and bones, so anyone who eats jello and says theyre a vegetarian is in that pool of people who claim to be vegetarians but are really just picky eaters. I am a vegetarian and I would NEVER eat that junk.
believe me or not. when i was kid i was scared of Jell-O
and still don't eat it.
I'm a vegetarian and I don't eat gelatin, some vegetarians do. Some vegetarians also eat fish. I guess it's their choice.
No.
A perfect substitute, which not only tastes better but is better for you, is konnyaku (often spelled Konjac for some odd reason).
Agar is good too, but bit of a different texture than Jello (gelatin) jelly.
I also found that acorn powder also makes really good jelly just as konnyaku does, but with a brown colour. Popular in Korea.
Is there like meat products in there? I don't see why not...but i'm sure some uptight vegetarian would find some reason to hate it.
